Comprising four bedrooms, four bathrooms and an office/study area. This spacious family home with 2500 sq ft of living space benefits from a large private west-facing garden. Rainton Gate is off the A690, the main route from Durham to Sunderland, and a short drive from the A1(M) interchange and Ramside Hall hotel, golf club and spa. Despite the ease of reaching areas north, south, east and west this offers, the property itself feels very much part of the surrounding rural scene and boasts far reaching views across beautiful open countryside.

Inside, the property has an air of quality with superior fittings and tasteful décor throughout. The large, comfortable sitting room has lovely features, for summer and winter – a brick-built inglenook fireplace with gas wood burning stove for keeping cosy on cold nights in, remote controlled motorised blinds to the rear windows and French doors, which lead straight into the garden. The open plan country-style kitchen/snug is fully fitted with cream units and black granite work surfaces with a Belfast sink, integrated modern appliances and an island which doubles as a breakfast bar. The property benefits from a separate dining room, with a downstairs WC and shoe cupboard/cloakroom completing the practical ground floor space.
